We have lost our thirst for the waters of life; Having fallen in love with life, We have ceased to dream of eternity And in our efforts ceased to build a new…. Sir Francis Drake
This sense of dreaming is something I would like to unpack as we begin a new year and discover or rediscover who we are and our identity at Dade Middle School.
Until then I leave you with a piece of art. This past week I was able to see our chorus and drama classes perform and I was reminded how powerful art can be in cultivating interest and transforming communities. Below is a link to a piece of art that I look at every year at this time. As with any good piece of art, its meaning is up for interpretation. Please do not look for any hidden agenda or political motif, it is just art. It brings me happiness during this season, and in my personal opinion uniquely represents this season.
